Punt Road "Airlie Bank" Garden Red 2022

If you've only had big, sappy Shiraz from Australia, you're in for a shock with this joyous little bottle. Here, many grape varieties made famous in France (grenache, syrah, cabernet franc, gamay, malbec, and petit verdot) are fermented whole-cluster and bottled with minimal sulfur. Juicy, red-fruited, aromatic, and a bit spicy, this cheeky sucker is the perfect candidate for a chill.
